In "The Complete Christmas Books of Charles Dickens," the reader is invited into a rich tapestry of Victorian England, where the themes of social justice, compassion, and the spirit of giving take center stage. This compendium features the beloved "A Christmas Carol" alongside lesser-known tales such as "TheChimes," "The Cricket on the Hearth," and "The Haunted Man." Dickens'Äôs signature prose, characterized by vivid imagery and intricate characterizations, captivates readers while subtly critiquing the societal norms of his time, encapsulating the Victorian ethos of philanthropy and warmth during the festive season.

Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
BOOK 7: THE CHAMPMATHIEU AFFAIR: The incidents the reader is about to peruse were not all known at M. sur M. But the small portion of them which became known left such a memory in that town that a serious gap would exist in this book if we did not narrate them in their most minute details. Among these details the reader will encounter two or three improbable circumstances, which we preserve out of respect for the truth.
